Coach Talk

Packer Backers
You know, football is all about spotting and exploiting the mismatches. We really took that to heart this week by almost tripling Brute Squad at the wide receiver position (35.8 points to 12.87).
Brute Squad
Well, we can't really complain about a shortage of opportunities this time, can we? Our pass-catching corps (three WR, one TE) were targeted a healthy 30 times in Week 15. With only 18 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
